Default New Look for the Old Boss

Added the RK hood and removed the Boss stripes. Having the new hood striped next week which will cover the power hump and the vents but leaves the sides white. I also added a set of 71-73 Mach 1 hood locks, which were needed for the fiberglass hood. I'm not a huge fan of pins, so I tried something a little different.

Looks good. I have a suggestion...remove the lower side stripe and dont stripe the hood. If you're set on some graphics maybe a black reverse c-stripe to tie in the black wheels. Just my .02

Thanks man. I have Charcoal Metallic stripes on the sides and the new hood stripe will match.

Like I said, something different from the rest of the crowd.

I just don't like a plain white muscle car. I think of a white car as an empty canvas, just ready to be modded-up to look awesome. My old theme was from a '70 Boss 302, so I just removed the fender stripes and extended the side stripe to the front wheel well when I added the hood. The C-stripe is not a bad idea though. Maybe I'll monkey around with it and see what I come up with.
